Elements having the same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings represent similar elements, and the accompanying drawings do not constitute a limitation in terms of scale, in which:
To understand features and technical contents of embodiments of the present application in more detail, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are for reference and illustration only, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application.

A method for simulating digital certificate generation according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
step S1: determining a digital certificate connection protocol based on a digital certificate type;
step S2: simulating, based on the digital certificate connection protocol, establishing, by a digital certificate generation device, a connection to a mining pool;
step S3: simulating sending, by the digital certificate generation device, digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool; and

Specifically, due to numerous types of digital certificates, such as an encrypted digital certificate based on a SHA256 algorithm, an encrypted digital certificate based on an Ethash algorithm, and an encrypted digital certificate based on a Scrypt algorithm, there are also differences in protocols for a connection between a digital certificate generation device and a mining pool. During a diagnosis of the mining pool, it is required to purchase a large number of digital certificate generation devices so that performance of the mining pool is diagnosed comprehensively as possible for different types of digital certificates. This results in high costs, and the digital certificate generation devices cannot allow for customized debugging.
In this embodiment of the present application, the digital certificate connection protocol may be determined based on the digital certificate type, and the connection to the mining pool may be established. Therefore, this is not limited by the digital certificate type. In other words, connections between different types of digital certificate generation devices and the mining pool can be simulated. Even for a new type of digital certificate, a connection of a digital certificate generation device can be simulated, and interaction behaviors between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool, for example, sending digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool and receiving corresponding feedback from the mining pool, can be simulated, that is, data interaction between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool can be simulated. Therefore, this embodiment of the present application is equivalent to simulating digital certificate generation based on a simulation apparatus of the digital certificate generation device. In this way, a more comprehensive diagnosis of performance of the mining pool is performed without requiring a large number of physical digital certificate generation devices, and costs are low. In addition, a behavior of simulating the digital certificate generation device can be debugged based on diagnostic needs, implementing customized debugging.
For example, a connection between a physical digital certificate generation device and the mining pool is established based on an open source stratun-rpc protocol, which is a self-defined protocol based on the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). For each type of digital certificate, protocol message details thereof are slightly different. In the method in this embodiment of the present application, a program framework of the digital certificate generation device may be written on a computer terminal by means of a network programming module of a programming language such as Python to implement a state machine mode, implement functions of sending and receiving HTTP messages, simulate interaction between a stratum-rpc protocol of a target type of digital certificate and the mining pool, and simulate interaction behaviors of the physical digital certificate generation device, for example, a series of behaviors and corresponding states such as establishing a connection, authenticating, obtaining a digital certificate generation task, and submitting a share. In other words, a simulation apparatus for simulating digital certificate generation is provided. Detailed specifications for stratum-rpc messages are defined in respective white papers of various types of digital certificates, and a sending procedure and content of messages of the digital certificate generation device can be simulated based on definitions in the white papers of the corresponding digital certificates. In addition, a variety of connection protocols may be defined based on diagnostic needs of the mining pool and the white papers of the various types of digital certificates, and a simulation program may be set by means of the network programming module to implement customized debugging. Therefore, interaction between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool for different types of digital certificates can be simulated, thereby providing support for diagnosing performance of the mining pool with low costs, and promoting research and development of the mining pool and other types of digital certificate derivative products.
In an embodiment, sending, by the digital certificate generation device, normal digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool may be simulated to assist in diagnosing whether the performance of the mining pool is good. For example, the normal digital certificate generation request information may include behaviors such as establishing a connection, authenticating, obtaining a digital certificate generation task, and submitting a share.
In some embodiments, simulating sending, by the digital certificate generation device, the normal digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool and interacting with the mining pool may include the following: Subscription information and authentication information are sent to the mining pool. After receiving the subscription information, the mining pool may feed back connection acknowledgment information. The apparatus for simulating digital certificate generation (hereinafter referred to as simulation apparatus) may establish a connection to the mining pool after receiving the connection acknowledgment information. After receiving the authentication information, the mining pool performs authentication on the simulation apparatus that sends the authentication information, to identify whether the simulation apparatus has been registered and is authorized to generate a generation certificate. When determining, based on the authentication information, that the simulation apparatus is authorized to generate a digital certificate, the mining pool sends a digital certificate generation task to the simulation apparatus, and the simulation apparatus obtains a random hash value based on the received digital certificate generation task. In an embodiment, the method in this embodiment of the present application downplays a computation process of a hash value, and mainly focuses on simulating data interaction between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool. Therefore, the random hash value in this embodiment of the present application is not an actual computed hash value, but a random value or symbol. In addition, the random hash value is sent to the mining pool based on the digital certificate type. The mining pool may not determine whether the hash value is correct or not, that is, the mining pool deems the received hash value of the simulation apparatus correct by default, without verification and checking of this correctness. Herein, frequency of submitting hash values varies depending on different types of digital certificates. A hash value may be submitted based on a digital certificate type, and the mining pool may adjust, based on the frequency of submitting hash values, a difficulty of a digital certificate generation task delivered to the simulation apparatus. After receiving the random hash value, the mining pool calculates a corresponding work, and determines allocation of work revenue based on the work, but does not deliver the work revenue to the simulation apparatus.
The above is an embodiment of simulating normal data interaction between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool. During the simulation of the data interaction between the digital certificate generation device and the mining pool, whether the mining pool is anomalous can be diagnosed based on feedback information of the mining pool. For example, it may be diagnosed, based on the digital certificate generation task, whether a connection between the mining pool and the apparatus for simulating the digital certificate generation device is normal and whether authentication performed by the mining pool is normal; it may be diagnosed, based on the work, whether a work algorithm of the mining pool is normal, for example, whether the work is calculated as being more or less than the actual case; and it is diagnosed, based on the work revenue, whether allocation of the work revenue by the mining pool is correct. Therefore, by means of the simulation of interaction between a digital certificate generation device of a target type and the mining pool, performance of the mining pool is diagnosed without a need to purchase a large number of digital certificate generation devices, resulting in low costs.
Further, in some other embodiments, sending, by the digital certificate generation device, anomalous digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool may alternatively be simulated, that is, an anomalous behavior of the digital certificate generation device is simulated, to carry out a malicious attack on the mining pool and provide support for diagnosing a defense capability of the mining pool. For example, an invalid hash value is maliciously submitted.
In an embodiment, simulating sending, by the digital certificate generation device, the anomalous digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool includes: simulating obtaining, by the digital certificate generation device, a first random hash value based on the digital certificate generation task, and sending the first random hash value to the mining pool; and transforming the first random hash value, for example, changing a format of the first random hash value, to obtain a second random hash value, and sending the second random hash value to the mining pool. Specifically, for example, the first random hash value is an uppercase string, and the second random hash value is a lowercase string corresponding to the first random hash value, but in fact, the two are essentially the same. In short, for the received digital certificate generation task, random hash values that are essentially the same are submitted twice with the intention of obtaining double work revenue, thereby simulating a malicious behavior of the digital certificate generation device against the mining pool.
Further, in an embodiment, after receiving the random hash value, the mining pool converts the random hash value into a unified format and temporarily stores it in a database. Upon receiving the first random hash value, the mining pool queries whether the first random hash value has been temporarily stored in the database. If the first random hash value has not been temporarily stored in the database, the first random hash value is used to calculate a work. If the first random hash value has been temporarily stored in the database, that is, the random hash value is duplicate, the random hash value is discarded. Then, when the second random hash value is received, the same query may be performed. A random hash value with only its format changed may also be discarded. Based on this, it can be determined, based on format verification information of the mining pool for a random hash value, whether the mining pool has discarded the second random hash value that is submitted maliciously. If the received random hash values that are essentially the same but have different formats are used to calculate a work, it is considered that the defense capability of the mining pool is weak, thereby diagnosing the defense capability of the mining pool.
In some other embodiments, simulating sending, by the digital certificate generation device, the anomalous digital certificate generation request information to the mining pool may alternatively include: obtaining a random hash value after the digital certificate generation task is received, and reporting the random hash value to the mining pool even when the random hash value does not meet a difficulty of the digital certificate generation task.
Specifically, the simulation apparatus for simulating digital certificate generation obtains the random hash value after receiving the digital certificate generation task, and a physical digital certificate generation device submits the hash value to the mining pool only when the hash value meets a threshold condition of the digital certificate generation task. In the present application, a threshold condition for the hash value may be lowered by means of a network programming module of a programming language such as Python, or the threshold condition may be directly deleted. As such, the simulation apparatus receives the digital certificate generation task and obtains the random hash value, and submits the random hash value to the mining pool even though the random hash value does not meet a threshold condition for submission, causing a malicious attack on the mining pool with the intention of obtaining more work revenue, thereby simulating a malicious behavior of the digital certificate generation device against the mining pool.
Further, in an embodiment, after receiving the above random hash value, the mining pool determines, based on a task difficulty corresponding to the random hash value, for example, whether the random hash value meets the difficulty of the digital certificate generation task. If the random hash value does not satisfy a threshold condition for submission of a hash value, the random hash value is discarded. When there is an anomaly in the mining pool, for example, when the task difficulty solved by the random hash value is not verified or the verification on the task difficulty is anomalous, an error may occur in work allocation, that is, the mining pool is anomalous. Therefore, it may be diagnosed, based on the above simulation of the anomalous behavior of the digital certificate generation device, whether the mining pool is anomalous.
In some embodiments, establishing, by the digital certificate generation device, a connection to the mining pool may be further simulated based on the digital certificate connection protocol, thereby implementing a stress test on the mining pool. Specifically, a multi-process and/or multi-thread manner is used to simulate establishing, by a plurality of digital certificate generation devices, connections to the mining pool, and simulate normal behaviors of the digital certificate generation devices to interact with the mining pool to determine whether the feedback information and the verification information of the mining pool are normal, to diagnose an anti-stress capability of the mining pool and therefore implement the stress test.
For example, a simulation apparatus such as a computer terminal is provided. On the simulation apparatus, a network programming module of a programming language such as Python may be used to implement a remote procedure call (RPC) socket connection and interaction. For example, a program framework that simulates a connection in a multi-thread manner may be written by means of a Python gevent module, and connections between the plurality of digital certificate generation devices and the mining pool may be simulated in a multi-thread manner; or a function of multi-process synchronous socket connection may be implemented by means of a Python epoll module to simulate establishing, by more digital certificate generation devices, connections to the mining pool. In short, the state machine mode of the digital certificate generation device is simulated, such that connection behaviors of thousands of digital certificate generation devices can be replicated, and there is no need to purchase physical digital certificate generation devices for connection testing, resulting in low costs. Further, it may be determined, based on the feedback information or the verification information for the mining pool side, whether the mining pool is anomalous, thereby implementing a stress test on the mining pool and diagnosing a processing capacity and a throughput of the mining pool.
In summary, according to the method for simulating the digital certificate generation device in this embodiment of the present application, a connection protocol is determined based on a digital certificate type, and connections between different digital certificate generation devices and a mining pool can be simulated based on connection protocols, providing support for research and development of new types of digital certificates and the mining pool; various data interaction behaviors between the digital certificate generation devices and the mining pool can be simulated, such as a normal behavior and an anomalous behavior, providing support for diagnosing performance of the mining pool, and resulting in low costs; and massive connections between digital certificate generation devices and the mining pool can be simulated, providing support for a stress test of the mining pool, and facilitating research and development, and maintenance of the mining pool.
In this embodiment of the present application, the method for simulating digital certificate generation may be data generation that is related to a digital certificate and that is performed by the apparatus for simulating digital certificate generation.
